What a spectacular theme. It looks mighty tempting to maybe switch my photo contest site. The dark background is a nice touch and the big photo presentation on the post url is great for the in your face showcase.

I see I would have to change all my standard format posts to image format posts in order for the photos to be displayed. That would be a lot of work since I have over 350 posts so far, many of them written before the image format became available in selected themes.

Yes, you are correct. Avid uses post formats for display of things like images and galleries. 350 posts is quite a few, but you can use the bulk edit feature to set the post format on many posts at once. This could cut down the time quite dramatically.
